Chapter Twenty-One – The Wolf Meets the Viper
Denilson raised his pistol over the table, firing into the smoke. Two masked soldiers fell, but three more stormed in behind them, Beside him, Jenna clutched the pistol she’d taken at the docks, her hands trembling. Her eyes were wide, but there was no room for fear now.“Shoot if they come close,” Denilson barked, She nodded, lips pressed tight, trying to keep the panic from breaking her.Marcus moved like a shadow, calm amidst the storm. His revolver thundered once, twice, each shot precise, each body falling clean. He reloaded with the ease of a man sipping wine, his eyes sharp, calculating.But even his precision could not stop the tide, The soldiers were everywhere, And then, the gunfire faltered.A whistle cut through the storm, The masked men held fire, Silence spread like oil, broken only by the groans of the wounded and the drip of blood from shattered rafters.Denilson peered over the table, chest heaving, That was when he saw him, The hooded figure stepped through the smoke
Chapter Twenty-Two – Ashes of the Wolf
The warehouse screamed as the fire consumed it. Beams groaned, walls split, the air thick with smoke so dense it burned the lungs raw, “MOVE!” Marcus roared through the chaos, dragging two bleeding soldiers toward the exit.But Denilson didn’t move.

I said go!”Tears streaked her ash covered fac
Chapter Twenty-Three – Baptized in Fire
So this is it, he thought, rage flickering against the pull of oblivion. Burned alive, while Victor laughs in the dark, He tried to push the beam. His muscles screamed, veins bursting. The steel didn’t move. His body sagged back, breath rattling.The fire closed in, “DENILSON!” Jenna’s voice tore through the chaos, raw, desperate, Through the haze, he saw her struggling against Marcus’s grip at the doorway, her arms flailing as she tried to reach him.“Let me go! He’ll die!” she screamed, Marcus’s voice was iron.“He’ll die if you run into that fire. Stay back!”,But Denilson saw something then not the cold, distant woman who once mocked him. Her eyes burned with terror, with something else he hadn’t seen in years, She doesn’t want me to die.With a roar, he pushed again. Blood vessels burst in his arms, the beam shifting by an inch, Not enough. The fire roared higher, licking closer. His skin blistered, the heat cooking him alive, And then a hand seized his shoulder.Marcus, The old
